Tibet became the focus of attention in Stockholm as the Swedish city played host to the first ever World Championship in Cooperation (WorldCiC). The 
event attracted thousands of children, youths, teachers, volunteers and decision makers from Sweden as well as from more than thirty countries to contribute to the fulfilment of the UN Millennium Development Goals, a report received from the The House of Tibet in Stockholm said.
Organised to draw attention to the two UN declarations viz.,Convention of the Rights of the Child and Agenda 21, and also the UNESCO report titled, “Our Creative Diversity”, the May 31 opening ceremony of the event welcomed four chief guests on the four sides of the stage; the east side being the most important, said the report, as it symbolised the rising of the sun or the beginning of things and was occupied by the main guest: a 60 yr-old Tibetan named Sonam Jamyangling. Three other guests were Maria Conchit from Cuba on west, Ana Mangi from Sweden on north and Lucas Ole from Tanzania on south.
Jamyangling is the founder and chairman of Swedish Tibetan society for school and culture. The organisation has built 108 schools and libraries in Tibet. Currently, the society provides help to 13,000 Tibetan children in Tibet.
In a ceremony called “The United Water”,children from 30 different countries in the world poured water brought from their respective countries in a large crystal ice-bowl to symbolise the unity of life. Four years old Tibetan boy, Dawa Phuntsock Arkhang represented Tibetan children and emptied a bottle of water – that had journeyed all the way from Tibet- into the ice-bowl.
WorldCiC is a creative meeting between children, teenagers and adults in an atmosphere of dialogue and cooperation creating a desire to see new things and have the courage to changes which in turn brings a desire to see new things and participate in the political process, raising questions and developing the society.
